"...a beautifully shaped performance, characterfully played and vividly recorded. What's more, it is, in effect, a gramophone 'first', for though the original, 1872 version of Bruckner's Second Symphony has been recorded elsewhere this new Tintner recording is the first to reach a wider market...Tintner's reading of the symphony [is] shrewd and affectionate, telling phrased and beautifully paced...an exceptional record." -Gramophone
